Look up a controversial passage in the bible, then make sure that you know what it means. Now, if you are good at finding the meaning in scripture, you should be able to find waldo.
If you cannot, then you need to check yourself for denial.

If you cannot find him, look closer. He is also dressed somewhat like a vampire if you need a clue.

I also have visions/dreams/feelings about the future. I'm also very sensitive to other spiritual activity around me, like when I meet a person who is into certain things I can generally tell it.
But I'm a Bible-believing Christian, I like to think my gifts come from God, and I do all to God's glory.
But most Christians call me a jezebel for "practicing witchcraft" or they just say I'm lying.
So I'm torn. Do I my premonitions with people, or not?

If you think I'm lying or I'm just superstitious, please DON'T ANSWER. I'm looking for supportive answers ONLY.

I think every body is entitled to there own beliefs but i was wondering why not give god a chance? Is it because you need proof? Do you need to see to believe? If your absolutly sure there is no such thing as god then what would it hurt to read the bible and see what all us christians are so wrong about. I'm not knocking athiests I was just wondering why not believe in something and someone who only wants good things for you.

So many people claiming to be Christian are so filled with hatred, it frightens me. Aren't Christians supposed to take Jesus as their role model? When did he hate? When did Jesus turn his back on someone or say their life was worthless because they did not believe? Doesn't the story of the good Samaritan teach that we are not to judge a person based on his ethnicity or religion, but only according to his deeds?

When we ate from the tree of knowledge, we were cast out of Eden for having done so. Being "aware" of ourselves... we separated ourselves from God, covering our bodies and hiding.

I wonder about all our human traits... our curiosities and stubbournness. The same "free will" we cherish seems to be a sharp rock we cut ourselves on when we make poor choices and give into our human impulses. I percieve it as a learning tool in which natural conciquences are implimented. A karmic learning tool that teaches us more about the way we should and shouldn't think and act.

But why are we punished for obtaining knowledge that is necissary to gain in order to avoid the pains of natural consiquense? Is there some perpetual dissillusionement in the way we gain and use the knowledge we aquire? How does faith and knowledge coexist?

parable represents the dynamic where people want god to be what THEY want him to be (where the 'saved' strive and obey to get a reward)? Do people see that Jesus' original message must have been changed given that most don't like the Reality of god as Unconditonal Love?

Obviously at one time people believed in the Greek gods because they were naive. Once humanity progresses further will modern religions be seen the same way?

when this was said what did it mean

There is this girl at school who has always had it in for me. My mom got remarried last year & my last name changed from a German sounding one to an Irish sounding one. Ok, so when they called my name in class this girl says "what happened to your Jew name?" & everyone laughed.

Then, I wore a cross my mom gave me as a present & she tugged on it & said "why are you wearing that, you don't look like a Chrisitian, you look like a ugly Jew"


She is really giving me this complex that I "look Jewish" and that means "look ugly" and that everyone can tell. Not that there is anything wrong w/ being Jewish if you are, but I feel like if I wear my cross people are going to think I am not really Christian. Does this make sense?

How was He able to fulfill about 400 prophecies in the old testament that were foretold thousands of years before His birth. Several of the prophecies are pretty specific like: "He will be born in Bethlehem", "He will be crucified, mocked and tortured", "Not a bone of his will be broken" or "He will be pierced in the side" just to name a few. Surely mere mortal men could not orchestrate these things. The non believers of that time knew the prophecies, why would they carry out certain events to make them come true unless it was all driven by Gods will.
